Dear all,Good morning/day/evening to you all!
Last few weeks have been busy, busy weeks for me. I have changed my job and now I'm a "busy"ness woman :) However, sometimes one just have to pull him/herself from the work and give yourself time to relax. And, I am doing exactly that right now :) I'm updating my dear blogs.
Well, it has snowed last two days here in UB. It is beautiful and refreshing. The air is more clear and clean, during morning and day times. Obviously, it is awful at night time, as usual, full with fumes and smokes coming from ger area. Officials, talked and talked like some kind of parrots for years, to diminish the air pollution in UB, but nothing significant has been done.
With bad air comes the health problems. The number of young and elders with cold and flu symtoms accepted to hospital wards have dramatically increased, pointing to an urgent need for drastic actions to remove the air pollutants from the city.
That aside, one more bad thing, which everybody knows, is traffic. The city was planned for no more than 500,000 people, and its capacity has been overfilled long time ago, when the city residents exceeded 1 million, somewhere in 2004-2005. I wonder how people live in bigger and more crammed cities like New York or Hong Kong? The number of vehicles is increased by 20-30,000 annually. Imagine, little tiny roads, with more than 150,000 cars. Every 8th person drives in the city, ke ke. Very funny.
OK, so I got off my steam by writing depressing stuff. Enjoy the day people! :)
Later!
